Commit Message

This patch uses posix_spawn on system implementation.  On Linux this has
the advantage of much lower memory consumption (usually 32 Kb minimum for
the mmap stack area).

Although POSIX does not require, glibc system implementation aims to be
thread and cancellation safe.  The cancellation code is moved to generic
implementation and enabled iff SIGCANCEL is defined (similar on how the
cancellation handler is enabled on nptl-init.c).

The _LIBC_REENTRANT related code is removed and the signal handler reset
when cancellation happens is handled all by the cleanup handler (system
is already a AS-unsafe function).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni_child): Use
	__sigismember instead of sigismember.
	* sysdeps/posix/system.c [SIGCANCEL] (cancel_handler_args,
	cancel_handler): New definitions.
	(CLEANUP_HANDLER, CLEANUP_RESET): Likewise.
	(DO_LOCK, DO_UNLOCK, INIT_LOCK, ADD_REF, SUB_REF): Remove.
	(do_system): Use posix_spawn instead of fork and execl and remove
	reentracy code.
	* sysdeps/generic/not-errno.h (__kill_noerrno): New prototype.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/not-errno.h (__kill_noerrno): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/system.c: Remove file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/system.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/system.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/system.c: Likewise.

I don't see the value in those macros, they just hide what is going on.
You should also use a named local variable instead of the compound
literal.  I think it is acceptable to duplicate the actual __waitpid
call for the cancellation and non-cancellation cases.

Rest looks okay to me.

I think we should seriously consider not messing with signals if
__libc_multiple_threads, but that is a separate change.

Thanks,
Florian

I think it still worth to mention glibc system aims to be thread-safe,
which requires restore the signal dispositions for SIGINT and SIGQUIT 
correctly and to deal with cancellation by terminating the child process.

I don't have a strong preference about the macros, I remove them and used
a named local variable. For cleanup handler, I only still only use it if
SIGCANCEL is defined because it would require implement __kill_noerrno
for hurd (and it won't be used anyway).

In this case I think we would need to provide a compat system symbol
with this new semantic, but system is really problematic (specially in
multithreaded environments) so I am not sure if it worth the trouble.

Below the updated patch (which I intend to commit).

I don't think you restore SIGINT and SIGQUIT correctly for concurrent
system calls.  This is what the ADD_REF code in the old version
attempted to do.

It is not strictly incorrect, although Linux sigaction is not really 
thread-safe (due the copy in/out kernel sigaction structure).  And it
is indeed not optional, and I agree that relying on this benign data race
behaviour is not correct. Below it is an updated patch with ref counter
reinstated.

It's not about the data race, it is about the higher-level race
condition.  The problem is that the first thread to enter system and
capture the original signal state may not be the last to leave system
and restore things.

One last question (I promise): Should this be the nocancel variant?

Thanks,

Even with current implementation the program would need to coordinate 
sigaction with system, so I am not sure which would be best option 
(try to get some sanity on concurrent system or let the program
handle it).

The cancel_handler will be called from within the sigcancel_handler
(through unwind mechanism) and SIGCANCEL is not installed SA_NODEFER,
so I can't see how another cancellation can act. However for consistency
using __waitpid_nocancel does make sense. I changed it locally.

The common case where sigaction is called once at process start would be
okay, though.

Thanks!

I don't have any further comments on your patch.  It is probably okay to
commit.
